Move hosting to Netlify #65

Closed maxx1128 closed 6 years ago

maxx1128 commented 6 years ago

1) Included from the start, more convenient 2) No intermediary that would have an insecure connection 3) Flexibility to use any framework, not just Jekyll 4) Can deploy a working version to a hidden URL so it's easier to test and provide feedback before official launch 5) Can still host source code in Github repo for collaboration 6) If the build fails it'll fall back to the last successful build version, avoiding showing users a broken experience

SSL included from the start? Is it free?

maxx1128 commented 6 years ago

Yep :)

jnimety commented 6 years ago

ok. If we're pre-compiling as a static site does it matter what frameworks are supported? Having a dev url is nice.

maxx1128 commented 6 years ago

It's any framework really. You just set a branch, a build command, and it uses that output as the site. I'm currently using it with Gatsby, a static-site generator on react, and it compiles fine. They have docs for all frameworks they explicitly support, like Jekyll, but even if it doesn't list it then it should work fine.

FWIW the DNS migration, which is necessary to move to Netify, is non trivial.

jnimety commented 6 years ago

@treznick what do you mean?

@maxx1128 we're just now deploying Continuous Deployment (including build) via travis-ci so the hosting provider supporting our framework/build doesn't matter. This gives us ultimate flexibility on frameworks and build pipeline.

@jnimety I meant that moving where the records are listed requires some measure of coordination, but I may be mistaken on that

jnimety commented 6 years ago

I don't think we would move DNS, just change an A record or two, right?

treznick commented 6 years ago

@jnimety you'd know better than I would.

Given that GH Pages now supports this, I'm going to close this issue. Thanks for looking into this @jnimety and @maxx1128
